Arsenal striker Thierry Henry accused referee Terje Hauge of favouring Barcelona after the Gunners lost the Champions League final 2-1 to the Primera Liga side.
An emotional Henry claimed the official ignored a series of challenges on him and insisted Arsenal had "made ourselves proud".
He told Sky Sports 1: "I don't know if the referee had a Barcelona shirt on because they kicked me all over the place.
"Maybe next time I'll learn how to dive. I expect the referee to do his job but I don't think he did.
"Henrik Larsson was the difference but I didn't see Ronaldinho and I didn't see Eto'o.
"So many times (Carles) Puyol should have got a yellow card, so many times (Rafael) Marquez came from behind to take my ankles."
Henry added on ITV1: "I've been told that the first goal (by Eto'o) was offside. They are already a good team, so if you help them, it is going to be very difficult to beat them."
The Frenchman had a chance to finish Barca off when Alexander Hleb played him in but his low shot was easily saved by Victor Valdes.
"I had nothing in my legs, nothing whatsoever," he said.
"No disrespect to Barcelona, I feel we played better than them when it was 11 against 11.
"We can be proud, we can be more than proud but I'm sorry, some of the refereeing today was horrendous."
